Musicians who play strings are also at risk due to exposure to music not only from their own instrument but also from the instruments of the musicians around them.
The role of their instrument is important in that a musician who plays the violin is different from a musician who plays the harp even though both are string instruments.
The genre of music is also important e.g. classical music or metal/rock music.
Each musician of the above is at different risk.
The classical musician has exposure to increased levels of intensity due to the large number of different instruments in the orchestra which are usually within a small space while the rock musician has exposure to increased levels of intensity due to high sound amplification.
Again, the instructions that can be given to musicians in this category are tailored made
